This document discusses the flipped classroom model in a math class. It describes how students can watch video lessons at home in their own time instead of receiving direct instruction in the classroom. This allows class time to be used for applications, engagement, group work, and addressing student questions. Student quotes provide positive feedback on learning at their own pace from videos and collaborating with peers in class. The document emphasizes that the flipped classroom is more than just assigning videos and should provide student autonomy, structure, and opportunities to improve self-efficacy in mathematics learning.

8.  “I like these videos, it’s on my own time, and I don’t have to stare at the
teacher’s back. I have a really hard time reading the board half the time so I
just sit there going, ok I’m bored, and I don’t really understand this.”
 “One section that I had trouble with, I constantly watched the videos over and
over until I understood what was being taught.”
 “If I was confused about anything, we would explain everything in great detail
and have debates about it. I learned different ways to solve problems during
the activities and others learned from me. This was fantastic.”

10. The flipped classroom is NOT just about assigning videos.
The flipped classroom environment provides students with the opportunity to pursue
goals of learning while maintaining room for self-pacing.
Optimal implementation of a flipped classroom is one where autonomy is provided to
students over cognitive dimensions, while structure is provided to the procedural and
organizational aspects.
If well-implemented, the flipped classroom environment has shown positive influence on
student self-efficacy particularly in mathematics.
